Fall Bible Study

The Fall Bible study will begin September 9th and conclude September 30th on Wednesdays from 10:00-11:30 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. We'll be using Matt Rawle's small group study "The Faith of a Mockingbird". Homework: Read the book or watch the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee prior to our first session. We will explore some startling spiritual truths in the remarkable encounters with Jesus even in the most secular of places. Each week we will examine the perspectives and experiences of four key characters beginning with Scout Finch, then Atticlus Finch, Tom Robinson and finally Boo Radley; sin, redemption, faith, wisdom, and love are the themes. Everyone is welcome. Never read the Bible--welcome! Read some Scriptures--welcome! Thoroughly immersed in Scriptures--welcome! Let's all open ourselves to new possibilities of our Creator's unconditional, eternal love for each of us as we explore our place in the world and God's story as well as what it means to live out a hopeful faith in a broken world. The sign-up sheet will magically appear in the lobby (Narthex) beginning in August. Any questions, just ask Patricia.
